We have a busy day’s racing on Monday with Flat action from Bath, Lingfield Park and Wolverhampton, live on Sky Sports Racing.
3.45 Lingfield – Top-rated El Matador faces six rivals
The top-rated El Matador faces six rivals in the Lingfield Park feature in the Tia Giggle Gallop Handicap over seven furlongs.
The Valmont-owned gelding represents top connections, lining up for Hector Crouch and Ralph Beckett and comes here with two wins from six starts which has given him a rating of 87.
He showed good ability in winning two of his first three last year, but his form fell away towards the back end of the year and, having been gelded over the winter, better can be expected of this relatively unexposed sort.
Tiger Crusade could prove to be the biggest danger if putting his experience to good use, with 10 wins from 57 starts. He disappointed when finishing last of six last time out but he has dropped to his last winning mark and is dangerous to dismiss.
King’s Vanity and Silver Trumpet look best of the remainder.
3.00 Bath – Full brother of two Group performers debuts
David Evans is represented by a fascinating runner in the Silvershine Turf Services Support Bath Maiden Stakes at Bath as the well-related Undercover Affair debuts.
This Havana Grey gelding is out of Secret Romance, making him a full brother to two Group performers in Rosy Affair and Cuban Mistress and David Evans knows how to ready one so he could be one to watch on debut.
David Evans sends three here with stablemates Dandyman Dan and Downloadmylife also feature with the latter looking to better his green effort in the Brocklesby.
Global Success was seen finishing fifth here 10 days ago having helped to force the pace and with that run under her belt, she could take a step forward.
Richard Hannon is set to be represented by the only other filly in the line-up as the daughter of Soldier’s Call Leucothea makes her first start for an in-form outfit.
6.30 Wolverhampton – Six course winners clash at Wolverhampton
Fifth to Ace Impact in the Prix du Jockey Club once upon a time, Epictetus is set to face six course winners in a trappy Country And Western Raceday – 28th June Handicap at Wolverhampton.
The son of Kingman has lost his way since winning the Group Three Thoroughbred Stakes in 2023 but has been competitive of late well down in class now for the Osbornes and looks set to go well once more here.
Big Sip, Echalar, Jez Bomb, Lordsbridge Blu, Newfangled and Renesmee all have a course success to their name and make for what should be a hotly-contested handicap on the night.
